The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick

The three-day final exams finally concluded.

Early the next morning, students sitting at home received their report cards, delivered one by one by Principal Rachel's [Natural Sparrow].

In an instant, some were joyful while others were worried.

But what surprised countless people was that the exam originally deemed the most difficult of this final assessment, Viktor's unique test, turned out to have the highest pass rate of all the exams this year.

A staggering 80%!

This left many professionals puzzled.

Could there be some inside story to this?

After all, this exam had been dubbed the "most difficult" by numerous media outlets.

Of course, while the pass rate was indeed higher, very few achieved perfect scores.

Barely a hundred people.

This was quite unexpected.

However, the content of the assessment would not be disclosed to the public initially.

No matter how much those media reporters and outsiders inquired, Principal Rachel's answer remained the same:

"We won't reveal any exam content in the near future. I can only say that Professor Viktor's assessment was absolutely fair and without any inflation."

"If anyone has doubts, three days after the students' holiday, Professor Viktor will hold a lecture in the academy's largest auditorium."

"At that time, you can ask First Professor Viktor questions during the Q&A session."

Principal Rachel's responses to all interviews were watertight and skillful.

After all, as an old mage, he naturally knew what to say and when.

News of this lecture prepared by Viktor quickly spread throughout the capital.

It naturally became a topic of interest among many nobles.

The Kravina family was now at its peak, and Viktor was no longer despised by everyone as he had been before.

After all, with titles such as the Princess's private tutor, First Professor of the Magic Academy, and Councilor...

Viktor, adorned with countless titles, was not someone an ordinary noble could afford to provoke.

Was there anyone who still looked down on Viktor now? They'd better consider their own capabilities first.

Viktor's influence was enormous, and many nobles were begging to secure a spot to attend the lecture.

Even those with status and background found it difficult to obtain a position for this lecture.

It was truly worth its weight in gold.

......

Viktor watched silently as Lia busied herself before him.

One moment she changed his tie, the next she switched his shirt.

Lia was meticulously arranging Viktor's attire and appearance.

"Ready!"

Finally, she put her hands on her hips, satisfied with her masterpiece.

Before her, Viktor had changed from his old coat into a black tailcoat.

He wore white gloves on his hands, and a straight black and white striped tie adorned his chest.

A pair of shiny leather shoes seemed to reflect dazzling light, making him look very spirited.

Lia seemed very pleased with her handiwork, constantly examining Viktor, admiring her brother's alluring appearance.

"Not bad."

Viktor looked at Lia standing before him.

Although she was also planning to attend this lecture and had prepared her gown early, she had delayed changing into it to help him dress up, even as the lecture was about to begin.

So, Viktor expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you."

"Hm?"

Lia glanced at Viktor, slightly displeased.

"Don't think too much of it. You represent our Kravina family, so you must dress to show your quality."

After saying this, she looked back at Viktor in the mirror, narrowing her eyes and smiling gently, very satisfied as she said:

"You better shine brightly for me."

Knock! Knock!

A gentle knocking sound came from the door.

"Come in."

Thinking it was a servant, Lia called out towards the door.

But it was Henie who pushed the door open and entered.

She was still wearing that black robe, looking rather plain and unfashionable.

As the associate professor and formerly Viktor's assistant, Henie naturally had to appear at such an occasion to help.

Lia had originally wanted to give Henie a makeover as well, but Viktor immediately refused.

Why?

Not everyone had witnessed Henie's charm beneath that robe.

If this succubus with demonic qualities were to unleash her allure, the entire auditorium might fall into chaos because of her.

The next morning, Henie could prepare to make the headlines.

"Professor! Here's the prepared speech for you!"

Henie had come running, slightly out of breath, but didn't forget to take out a thin stack of speech notes.

Viktor took them and glanced over them.

There were some opening pleasantries and format templates for responding to media questions.

Henie still felt a bit guilty and said:

"If only there was more time, I definitely could have written out the lecture content for you, Professor!"

"You've done very well already."

Viktor lightly praised Henie, snapped his fingers, and the speech notes in his hand dissolved into twinkling points of light in the air.

Just one glance was enough for Viktor to memorize everything completely.

"As for the lecture content, I've already prepared it."

Vega flew to his shoulder, and Viktor continued:

"It's time to depart."

.......

Royal Magic Academy.

Many people jostled each other as they slowly made their way towards the grand lecture hall.

Inside the hall, four deep red silk curtains hung gently from the ceiling, and under the focused lighting, the golden wood podium appeared even brighter.

The seating area below was dimly lit, and those who arrived early quickly took their seats.

Tonight's lecture had a very large audience, and most of those able to attend were of very distinguished status.

Even the Royal Knight Order had received overtime orders to personally manage the order.

Gwen was at the forefront of the Knight Order, looking valiant. Her silver-white armor was smooth and gleaming, like a cold and stern Valkyrie.

Several luxurious carriages slowly came to a stop at the entrance of the academy. The dark purple carriage signified the noble status of its occupants.

The media immediately turned their attention to the carriage.

"That's... the crest of the Cloye family, isn't it?"

The carriage door slowly opened.

Duke Levi was the first to step out of the carriage, appearing in the media's view.

Closely following him was the golden-haired Erica.

The media present were momentarily stunned.

"It's the Duke and his genius daughter!"

"I heard Erica is currently the youngest and most talented second-tier mage, and she's likely to reach the third tier soon. Wonder if it's true."

"She's incredibly beautiful!"

But Erica paid no attention to the media and walked straight towards the lecture hall inside the academy.

The Duke, however, waved to the media and then greeted other nobles cordially.

Subsequently, a white stallion trotted up to the front of the Magic Academy.

A group of guards followed behind the carriage, leaving the media even more stunned.

It was someone from the royal family.

The door of the golden carriage slowly opened, and two princes stepped down from the same carriage, adjusted their formal attire, and confidently strode towards the academy.

Both princes walked into the lecture hall with amiable smiles.

Along the way, they occasionally nodded and smiled at the media.

"Wow!"

"The two princes are so respectful of each other."

"Even the royal family places such importance on Viktor's lecture, it's truly astonishing."

People were even more amazed by Viktor's 'connections'.

Without realizing it, his influence had spread throughout the entire capital.

But what surprised everyone was the absence of Viktor's student.

That rumored Princess hadn't come?

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, they noticed.

A carriage driven by magical power was approaching the academy.

A carriage without horses seemed to symbolize the status of its owner.

The door opened automatically, and the protagonist of today's lecture was the first to step out.

Viktor.

He wore a jet-black tailcoat with pristine white gloves.

One hand held to his chest, he bowed elegantly towards the carriage interior and extended his other hand forward.

From inside the carriage, a mysterious lady placed her fair hand on Viktor's palm and slowly stepped down from the carriage.

It was Aurelianne.

She wore a white gown adorned with sparkling jewels that shimmered under the moonlight.

A hairpin held up her long hair, giving her a touch of mature charm.

Beneath her pure white gown, she appeared so gentle and beautiful even in the lamplight.

Her aura was like that of a fairy tale character who had stepped out of the moonlight.

The media were completely stunned, even dropping their recording crystals which rolled away.

The Princess actually arrived in the same carriage as Viktor??

Huh?

Who wouldn't be confused seeing this?

After alighting from the carriage, Aurelianne lifted her skirt with both hands and curtsied gracefully to Viktor in thanks.

Afterwards, she walked towards the lecture hall first.

As she passed by Gwen, she smiled and nodded at the knight commander.

Gwen blinked in confusion but returned a smile to Aurelianne.

After the Princess had proceeded to the lecture hall, a group of reporters hurriedly picked up their recording crystals from the ground.

Not caring whose model they grabbed, they all surged towards Viktor.

Given this situation, they were determined to get first-hand information from Viktor.

Gwen frowned slightly. The Knight Order was here to maintain order, but these media personnel didn't seem to take the Knight Order seriously.

Originally, she thought Viktor would use magic to keep all these reporters at bay, but Viktor didn't do so.

He just stood there, allowing the group of reporters to surround him.

At this point, Gwen had to step in.

She walked behind Viktor, her armor clanking, and led several knights to surround Viktor.

"Maintain order, your behavior is only causing us trouble!"

The knights separated the group of reporters, and Gwen watched the disappointed faces of these people, yet remained as cold as ever.

She turned back to look at Viktor.

He wasn't at all flustered by the media's encirclement, appearing so elegant and proper.

But Gwen couldn't help but frown and said to Viktor:

"Why don't you drive them away."

Viktor clearly had the means to leave on his own. Even without using magic, he could have accompanied the Princess.

But he specifically stood in place, until the Princess left, and even without the protective umbrella, he still stood alone.

As if waiting for someone.

Who else could he be waiting for?

Thinking of this, Gwen felt a bit angry.

Viktor didn't seem to realize what kind of commotion he was causing now.

But Viktor just glanced at her, his voice soft:

"I was waiting for you to come and rescue me."

"I knew you wouldn't watch me get into trouble."

"..."

Gwen was slightly stunned. In a daze, she seemed to see Viktor's lips curling up slightly.

Only his voice remained, echoing in Gwen's ears.

"Escort me, will you?"

"My lady knight."
